Self-Employed Medical Insurance Tax Credit

On Monday, September 27, the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act of 2010 was signed. Until then, self-employed were not privy to the equivalent tax benefit relating to medical insurance costs. Now, the self-insured can take a 1-year tax (2010 taxes) deduction for medical insurance costs in determining self-employment tax. To qualify, you must:
             1) File a Schedule C, S or F showing income that is earned
             2) File a Schedule SE and pay the self-employment tax
             3) Pay for family or individual medical health insurance coverage in 2010.
